Thank you for checking out this Patreon page. I have some big ideas for the future of this channel and you can help me to make them a reality! But first, let me introduce myself and what I'm all about:

Animation is a fascinating medium. I'm an animation producer/ director exploring the world of 2d animation and the variety of skills linked to animation.

I have worked for clients around the world as an animator/ director/ producer. Now I am working to build a community of empowered artists by celebrating the most inspiring ideas, techniques and philosophies in the animation world. I call this project Animator Guild. Over the last two years I have been creating a video every two weeks - I now have over 100 free videos on my YouTube channel. I want to sustain and improve the channel to become the best provider of animation education on the internet! And now you can help to keep this going.

Tiers

Extra Videos + Behind the Scenes Feed

$1 or more per per video

Gain access to my restricted Patreon feed, I will be posting all kinds of extra content; advice videos, work in progress design sketches, film reviews and recommendations, updates on video productions, and about the books, films, animations and music I go to for guidance, and the occasional rant video!

Download Pack + Private streams + Discord Privileges

$3 or more per per video

Get the tools to help you make master pieces with our exclusive download pack! A sample Sound effects package with some of my favorite cloth sound effects and three of my action scene FLA source files as soon as you join! these are special source files which I have not made available on Animator Guild.

I will host private streams for supporters of this tier and above to tune into every month.

You will be displayed on the Animator Guild Discord group as a Patreon supporter. You get some added freedoms on the server - such as custom emojis, reactions and the ability to change your nickname

Early Access + Sound FX

Gain early access to Youtube videos (Up to a week early) before they go public! I will also send you little gifs of animated previews of my upcoming films before anyone else gets to see them!

In addition to all of the previous tier rewards, you gain access to mypersonal animation sound effects bundle! This collection of sounds is a work in progress so you will get new sound effects sent to you when I release them. These are my original custom-made sounds that I have made to make my scenes as cinematic as possible! They are already cut, compressed and categorized for you to drag into your animations.

Vote on video topics + Credits

$10 or more per per video

In this tier you will be able to vote on what videos are made and in what order. Considering that there are very few people on this tier and above, that gives you a lot of influence over the content that is brought out! You can also make suggestions for extra topics to be added to the next poll.

Your name will be in the credits of each Animator Guild tutorial video that comes out.

Name Drop + Portfolio Promotion

$20 or more per per video ∙ only 8 left

I thank you by name at the end of each Animator Guild episode.

A link to your portfolio in the video description of future Animator Guild videos. And if I'm really impressed with your work, I might give it a positive mention in the video. These videos get seen by thousands of people - sometimes hundreds of thousands - so it's a good way to get yourself out there.

Film Festival Credits

Your name in the credits of my next short film - this will be shown at film festivals! You can feel proud knowing that you helped to bring this film to the big screen. I will also show you all of the places it has been screened at. I will send you personal updates on the project as it unfolds.
